Auckland Gay Film Night - Bad Boy Street

Australasian premiere.

Filmmaker Todd Verow abandons his home base New York City for the City of Light – Paris in this sexy drama of two very different men thrown together by fate.

The story begins one evening when Claude (Yann deMonterno) happens upon a young man passed out on a side alley. With no ID, he decides to take him to his apartment to safely sleep it off.

Awakening the next morning the hunky young man returns the favour by immediately going down on his sleeping host–and this begins the unconventional relationship between forty-something Claude and twenty-something Brad, a shadowy figure with a secret.

With that unconventional first date, the two – despite their age difference, nationalities and Brad’s personal demons - tenuously begin to get to know one another and possibly find love.

A must-see for fans of Andrew Haigh's "Weekend", "Bad Boy Street" is an accomplished, serious gay romance featuring an especially touching performance by deMonterno as a man whose stable life is upended.
